Billy Graham's Prayer For Our Nation
Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your
forgiveness and to
seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those
who call
evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done. We have lost our
spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. We have exploited the poor
and called
it the lottery. We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare. We have
killed our unborn and called it choice. We have shot abortionists and
called it
justifiable. We have neglected to discipline our children and called it
building self esteem. We have abused power and called it politics. We have
coveted
our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition. We have polluted the
air
with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression. We
have
ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it
enlightenment. Search us, Oh God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us
from every sin
and Set us free. Amen!'
Commentator Paul Harvey aired this prayer on his radio
program, 'The Rest of
the Story,' and received a larger response to this program than any other
he
has ever aired. With the Lord's help, may this prayer sweep over our
nation
and wholeheartedly become our desire so that we again can be called 'One
nation under God.'
If possible, please pass this prayer on to your friends.
'If you don't stand
for something, you will fall for everything.'
Think about this: If you forward this prayer to everyone
on your e-mail
list, in less than 30 days it would be heard by the world. (It's worth a
try!)
One Nation Under (one) God
